Do you have a favorite project that you like to knit or crochet (or spin or weave) over and over? Take a look at some of the quick and easy knits we are doing at Knit Unto Others.
This light and airy vest on the left is Weekend Wrap by Julie Weisenberger of cocoknits. The pattern is $6.00. It is perfect for these last days of summer (or months - this is Arkansas). It is made from Ripple and only took 2 skeins. This is a quick knit that could easily be adjusted in size.

The pattern above is just a basic ribbed brim hat pattern. What makes it so awesome is the yarn. This is made with Silky Ewe by Done Roving Yarns. It is 250 yards of hand painted, 85/15 fine wool and silk heaven.

This beautiful shawl (center picture) is based on the pattern Bletchley by Taiga Hilliard Designs. Bletchley is a free pattern on Ravelry - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bletchley. It can be made as written with 2 different colors of yarn or adapted by using (as shown here) a variegated ribbon yarn like Tandem and a sock weight yarn like Jilly with Cashmere by Dream in Color. It's easy to adapt - you do the ribbon in stockinette and the solid/semi-solid in garter stitch, following the Bletchley pattern for number of rows and when to increase. It's also very easy to change the size. I had leftover Tandem and knit a few more stockinette and then finished it off with with a couple of inches of garter. You can always use your favorite triangle shawl pattern, also.
